Notes:

1. French "sturdy", derived from Old German Drogo, introduced into Britain after 1066. Also Old Welsh.

2. Used as a diminutive for Andrew [q.v.] in Scotland and also as a given name both there and elsewhere in English-speaking countries, especially the US where it may also be a female name.
